I swallowed a bug
Apr. 30th, 2006 04:52 pmGot my bike out for the first time this year and went for a ride on a trail I'd been unaware of until last week - an old rail line, now walking/biking trail, that starts near where I live IN THE CITY and somehow, within 5 minutes cycle, has cows in fields beside it! Then a little further on, there's more city. I never realized there was this green corridor so close; the entrance is not obvious. It was sunny, not too warm, and flowering trees all round. And cows!
And yes, I think I probably swallowed a midge or two.
One of the fish got suddenly, dramatically sick Friday night. I noticed when feeding them, just as dashing out the door to work. I had not-really-enough time to find a spare large tub, fill it with conditioned water and scoop him into it, then worried much of the night that he wouldn't live until morning when I could get drops for him. He really looked awful. Fortunately, he's survived, and is now back in the main tank which is being generally treated. The fish-store-man's opinion is that he was bitten by another, which let fungus set in. I blame his mate. She bullies everyone in the tank.
I just realized I have 2 weeks left on the first fic challenge I've ever entered, and I haven't written a word. I haven't even got a decent scenario yet. Ack. Inspiration, please strike soon. :)
